Closed Extend the school year into the summer holidays by at least two weeks

Closed on

To extend the academic year by at least two weeks. Instead of finishing on the 22nd of July, the term will continue until at least the 6th of August.

Kids have lost so much school this year.

The learning kids are receiving at home is very varied and it is increasing the gap between children.

They need to make up for some of the time they have lost of school and get them ready for the new academic year.
